Estoril Hotels

I stayed three nights in this hitel for holidays and can atest that: The hotel is beautiful, well kept and has very helpful and friendly staff The gym is very nice and has great equipment Super conveniently located in front of the trai station that takes you to Lisbon or Cascais (the walk to Cascais is beautiful and not too long, though!) Very good breakfast Great concierge! A great pastaleria across the street where you can enjoy pasteis de nata Having travelled to many countries in various continents, Cascais continues to be my favourite vacation spot. Tourist, yet very authentic. And in this hotel you will be well looked after and feel welcome always!

The hotel is well organised. The breakfast room is spacious and light. It overlooks edge of plants. The room service is quite good. The swimming pool is a nice spot. The hotel atmopshere is pleasant.

Lovely hotel, only 5 mins walk from a good beach. Estoril itself is fairly quiet but lively Cascais is 20 mins pleasant walk along the coast. We had a suite. The main room was huge with a massive and very comfortable double bed. The second room was a decent size but the bed was a camp bed. The pool isn't huge but big enough for a swim. The hotel, including pool area, was very clean. A very enjoyable stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 bedroom apartment for 4 people; plenty of space, good kitchen facilities (only lacking a toaster!), nice quiet location, supermarket very nearby, bit of a hike up the hill back from the beach or Cascais (but taxis are cheap). Did.n't use the hotel restaurant, but the bar near the pool is fine. Make sure to visit the beach at Guincho, especially on a hot day - the constant breeze/gale will keep you cool.

This hotel is always booked. When my girlfriend and I arrived for check-in we were supposed to get the room at 12:00 PM but instead we got it at 2:00 PM because it was overbooked. The only downside of this hotel is if you want a double bed, you get to single beds pushed together.

We are not like some people who spend many days and weeks in hotels all around the world, but we have stayed in a fair few and this rates with the very best we have stayed in. We read many reviews of this hotel, as we always do when selecting a hotel and found that the negative comments made sounded like people trying hard to find fault to make themselves look like world class tourists. You are staying in a Portuguese hotel, expect it to be Portuguese in all things especially the breakfast menu. We would readily recommend it to anyone and would happily stay here again and again. The staff were attentive and helpful and, of great importance us, they spoke good English. Maybe not perfectly but a little bit better than our Portuguese! Our room was always clean, the bed was comfy, the breakfast was more than adequate, the location was brilliant and we think the cost of the room was cheap for what we got. It is a 5 minute walk to the sea front and 20 minutes from Cascais via the esplanade. True, there isn't a restaurant, but there are plenty of good value restaurants nearby and more in Cascais. No doubt 5, 6 and 7 star hotels are better than this but if you stay here you will not be disappointed.

This is the fifth time I have stayed at Hotel Alvorada, and whilst it may not be the most expensive hotel in Estoril it is certainly the friendliest. The staff always remember us when we come back to stay and are very helpful. It is located opposite the casino and is only a few minutes from the beach and the railway station where trains leave every twenty minutes to Lisbon or nearby Cascais (although it's nicer to walk to Cascais along the promenade during good weather). Breakfast is included in the price and consists of a buffet which includes teas, coffees, juices, cereals, bread, preserves, ham, cheese, scrambled eggs and superbly cooked frankfurters. Other reasonably-priced meals are available throughout the day. Definitely my favourite hotel in Estoril.

The hotel staff are very friendly and the rooms are great - great value The breakfast and views from the restaurant are wonderful. Very clean and tidy rooms. it is located ideally near the train station to go to Lisbon and you can walk along the sea path to the nearby towns. The bus is also handy to go to Sintra, a lovely town. The rooms are great with fantastic views - but one room did smell strongly of smoke when it is supposed to be smoke free not the fault of the hotel but they need to enforce the rules. Overall - a great stay !

We were pleased with the hotel. We were welcomed by an Italian speaker and everyone was friendly. There was a problem because they were still building the second part of hotel and there was noise in the afternoon but this was quickly sorted out by the Manager. Cleaning hours were a bit erratic but were done daily. The hotel was in a quiet and convenient location and was very peaceful with good access to transport, restaurants and beaches, casino. Excellent tourist office.
